Okay, so these are technically more like "Pop Tarts" but… man, cheesy, meaty Pop Tarts. Genius. Of all the pastries at this impeccable bakery, the savory hand pie is our favorite. Made with whole wheat pastry crust and stuffed with meat or vegetarian options (like onions and Havarti), it tastes like a much-improved toaster treat stuffed with a cheesy yet slightly sweet filling.
Pie: It's what's for dinner. Okay, sure, that's the advertising slogan for Beef, but you can totally shove steak inside a pie. We Americans tend to first think apple when we think pie, but thanks to an influx of British food and Aussie influences, savory pies and meat pies are growing more popular. Some of our favorite bakeries serve up killer pot pies and hand pies, too. You haven't lived life until you've eaten a "double pie" meal—a slice of savory and a slice of sweet—whether you're celebrating Pi Day or just eating your feelings. So break through the crust and try these top vegetarian and meat pies in Chicago.
